Here's a longer cut if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WA8lwZzWUM
You're putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the 'distro'.
Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it's mitigated by things like Linus' Law and reproducible builds.
That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I'd never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it's compromised (and there's basically no way of knowing).
We get on edge about the constant military/economic threat of China
Not everyone in Australia watches Sky News
I live in a country with a nominally 'labor' government that has stood in the way of unions protesting the genocide in Gaza and is actively working to suppress union led protests.
We in the west are in for a very rude shock in the coming years. Today it's clamping down on protests for Palestine, tomorrow its teargas and truncheons for strikers.
A lot of people don't understand that if we don't stand up for the Palestinians, we won't have a snowballs chance when it comes to seriously protesting our own governments and the corporations that control them.
Why do bots! Love exclamation marks! So much!
Executing children in the street, for the crime of being Palestinian.
This is what genocide looks like.
At least in the States, Tesla drivers are more likely to be caught speeding than most other car brands
Where else does this happen regularly?
No, it isn't. You can fully believe in people's ability to rehabilitate and change, while also being aware that not everyone rehabilitates and changes.
The needs of the perpetrator of a crime need to be balanced against the needs of society at large. This is why you get your license taken away from you when you drink and drive, or why you end up on a sex offenders register.
In this case, there's a valid argument to be made that this person represents a danger to society, and the need to protect/inform people from him outweighs his desire to not have past crimes revealed.
Hard to make the poor people richer when the rich are taking an increasingly large share of the pie.
Here are some more pretty reputable sources:
I mean, there's a former Mossad chief who says that Israel is enforcing an aprtheid system: https://apnews.com/article/israel-apartheid-palestinians-occupation-c8137c9e7f33c2cba7b0b5ac7fa8d115
Now let's see the responses... I'll give three to one odds we get some links from Haaretz. ADL if we're lucky?
Well I certainly wouldn't call myself a neoliberal. A neoliberal is somebody that believes in free market economics. It doesn't have anything to do with the term 'liberal' as used in US politics, ya stooge.
One of my fave sci fi novels of all time. Thanks for reminding to re-read it!
neoliberal
You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.
It is a notable part of the Israeli strategy to not make a distinction between soldiers and Palestinian civilians

Regardless of whether you think Hezbollah are a terrorist organisation or no, they're not in the west bank, they're in Lebanon (a different country).
Those countries I mentioned are just examples of large countries that do not recognise Israel. My point is that it is not 'outlandish' to not recognise Israel.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese political entity, not sure where you got the idea that they're in the west bank (currently governed by the PLO, if you weren't aware).
I don't think not recognising Israel is outlandish either. There are quite a few countries which do not recognise Israel - Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Indonesia spring to mind.
